Summary
Whether your site is on an intranet or the Internet, the principles of providing content are the
same. You place your Web files in directories on your server so that users can establish an
HTTP connection and view your files with a Web browser.
But beyond simply storing files on your server, you must manage how your site is deployed, and
more importantly, how your site evolves. Today, an engaging Web site is seldom a static
collection of pages. Most successful Web administrators are kept busy accommodating ever
changing Web content.
Each Web site must have a home directory. The default Web site home directory is
LocalDrive:\inetpub\wwwroot. You can change a Web site home directory using IIS Manager.

Exercise 22 : Installing And Configuring FTP Server

In this exercises, you will install and configure your server to run as FTP Server. This
exercise also describes installation of the FTP service, and changing default FTP
settings globally and for specific FTP sites.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a protocol used to transfer files over the internet. People
commonly use FTP to make files available for others to download, but you can also use
FTP to upload webpages for building a website or for putting digital photos on a picture
sharing site.
IIS includes the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service for publishing and managing files.
This version of IIS includes FTP user isolation to help administrators (particularly Internet
hosting providers) efficiently secure and commercialize FTP services for their customers.
The FTP service is not installed by default. To set up an FTP site, you must first install
the FTP service through the Server Manager. Installing the FTP service creates a default
FTP site, which you can then customize to your needs using IIS Manager.

EXERCISE 22.1
Installing FTP Server.

1. Log on to the server as Administrator (Figure 0979).

Configuring FTP Server
IIS creates a default FTP site configuration on your hard disk at the time of installation.
You can use the C:\inetpub\ftproot directory to store your FTP files, or create any
directory or virtual directory you choose.
Setting up the FTP service for the first time involves first setting global FTP settings,
then settings for the default FTP site, and finally adding the content to the FTP site. IIS
uses an inheritance model, which means that settings on higher levels are automatically
inherited by lower levels. Settings at lower levels can be edited individually to override
inherited settings from the next level up.
If you change a setting at a lower level, then later change a setting at a higher level that
conflicts with the lower-level setting, you will be prompted to choose whether you want to
change the lower-level setting to match the new higher-level setting.
EXERCISE 22.2

Each FTP site on a computer must have its own home directory. The default home
directory for the default FTP site is LocalDrive:\inetpub\ftproot.
There are two ways to change the home directory of an FTP site:

 Use IIS Manager
 Edit the MetaBase.xml file directly.
But in this exercise we only use IIS Manager.
20. Make sure you are log on to the server as Administrator.
21. Launch the Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager. Click Start ►

button to find the location of your ftp home directory (Figure 1002).

Figure 1002 : Server 21 FTP Site Properties – Home Directory
Note:
If you select a directory on a network share, you might need to enter a user name
and password to access the resource. IUSR_computername is the default
account used if another account is not specified.
If you use an account with administrative credentials on the server, clients can
gain access to server operations. This seriously jeopardizes the security of your
network.
For more information on security see, Security Best Practices in Windows Help.
28. Click the OK button (Figure 1002).

This happened because you log on to the FTP server as guest (anonymous user). By
default, FTP server only allow read permission to anonymous user. And we also not
configure the FTP server to allow any user to have write permission on the FTP server.
44. Close all window.
45. Log off the client computer.

everyone to read and write to the FTP site.

60. Close all window.
61. Log off the client computer.

Create New FTP Site Using Multiple IP Address.

You can create multiple FTP sites using multiple IP addresses and multiple ports. While
creating multiple sites with multiple IP addresses is a common and recommended
practice, it can be more complicated because, by default, clients call port 21 when using
the FTP protocol.

Therefore, if you create multiple FTP sites using multiple ports, you need to inform users
of the new port number so their FTP clients can locate and connect to the port.

If you create a new site using the same port as an existing site with the same IP
address, the new site will not start. The general rule is that you can have multiple sites
using the same IP and port, but only one site from this group can run at a time. If you try
to start another site from this group, you receive an error message.

Before you start create multiple FTP site using multiple IP address, you need to make
sure your server have set with multiple IP address. If not, you have to set your server to
use multiple IP address.

EXERCISE 22.8.1
Creating New FTP Site for Specific User Using Multiple IP Address.
FTP Site can be set to be login only by specific user. You can allow specific users to
establish an FTP connection and transfer files with an FTP client or FTP-enabled Web
browser. But beyond simply storing files on your server, you must manage how your site
is deployed, and more importantly, how your site evolves. This section presents the
basics of managing the infrastructure of an FTP site, from securing your site to hosting
multiple sites.
This exercise to help administrators, and particularly Internet hosting providers,
efficiently secure and commercialize the FTP services for their customers.
Let's say we want to set Ain Syahmi as administrator for the Student FTP Site.
